Greater Austin Home Safety Repair for Seniors, Veterans, and Adults with Disabilities

Home Repair and Architectural Barrier Removal is for low income homeowner clients who face serious structural issues with their homes resulting in a decline in health and safety.

Through our Home Repair program, we provide major home safety repairs and accessibility modifications for eligible seniors. Our home repair model is holistic home repair rather than a patch job. That’s because the home repair program started as a result of our core mission to enable our clients to age in place. One can’t age in place when their home has barriers that make it impossible to live there. This program is currently serving the following counties: Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet, Blanco and Fayette.

I had been in and out of the hospital every week before the repairs. Now, I have central air. I’m breathing better, and I haven’t been back in the hospital once. It has made things a lot easier.

HANDY WHEELS

Our Handy Wheels program provides minor, safety-related home repairs and improvements for seniors and adults with disabilities. This program serves those who are currently receiving meals through our Meals on Wheels program. Safety-related small home repairs make a big difference in the lives of those we serve. It improves the sense of security for our homebound clients and is an essential component to helping people remain independent in their homes. We do our part to encourage safety in clients' homes by installing safety modifications for toilets and showers. Note: We are unable to accommodate requests for electrical or plumbing repairs. Questions? Contact our Handy Wheels Coordinator at 737-218-4171.
